Her father is Barbadian and her mother is British. She is the middle child of two sisters. From as far back as she can remember Malissa Alanna has wanted to be a singer and songwriter, and at 9 years old she penned her first song “I Remember” and has since gone on to write many songs. She has shied away from the genres of music most teenagers would consider singing and concentrated on the country/pop genre, something unusual for a teenager born and raised in the Caribbean! However, with her strong versatile voice, she can sing just about anything. Malissa Alanna has excelled in jazz dancing and martial arts attaining the rank of Senior Black Belt and is known for her relentless drive and effervescent personality.This incredibly gifted singer/songwriter has accomplished many achievements since launching her career in February 2011.
